California - New ADU Laws
Its sort of unclear just when this will all take effect, especially at a local level, but sometime in 2020, all California Single Family Home Zoning (and some MultiFamily Zoning) will allow a Detached ADU (no FAR / lot coverage / min lot size restrictions) as well as an additional Junior ADU (within existing home square footage)
Furthermore, Owner-Occupancy requirements will be prohibited until 2025!

@Adam Mayberry thanks for the information. I called the planning department of South SF (where I am looking to convert existing space of a property to an ADU) yesterday and specifically asked them about the additional detached ADU, the response was only one ADU (JADU, detached, or attached) is allowed per lot without mentioning any upcoming potential changes. Definitely looking forward to seeing these take effect at the local level.
